Just starting your average server load is correct, e.g. if your server averages 300 simulatious connections, you need to start with 300 servers, and you never want it to drop below that number. Yes, a browser can make multiple connections, but this is typically only two parallel pipelines, perhaps even four. But 30 workers are not handling the 30 requests comprising one user connecting to your site!!! You just happened to hit a magic correlation in your testing :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
